o Move choke lever down to CHOKE position.

Grasp starter handle (see figure 13) end pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compres_ sion cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point) Let the rope rewind slowly

NOTE: A noise will be heard when finding the start of the compression cycle This noise is caused by the flails and fingers which are part of the shredding mech- anism falling into place, and should be expected. In addition, the flails and fingers will be noisy after the

engine is started, until the impeller reaches full speed. o Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke.

Keep a firm grip on start handle.. Let rope rewind

slowly. Do not let starter handle snap back against

starter.

e Repeat preceding two instructions until engine

fires_ When engine starts, move choke lever on

engine halfway between CHOKE and OFF

NOTE: If engine does not fire after three attempts, move choke lever halfway between CHOKE and OFF position and try again. See figure 14o

e Move throttle controt to IDLE position for a few

minutes warm-up. Move choke lever to OFF posi- tion as engine warms up

e Drain the fuel tank, o Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty.

o Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur

o Use fresh fuel next season, NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor- age container Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank and carbure- tor if using fuel stabilizer.

o Drain atl the oil from the crankcase (this should be

done after the engine has been operated and is still warm) and refill the crankcase with fresh oil.

o If you have drained the fuel tank, protect the inside

of the engine as foNows, Remove spark plug, pour approximately t/2 ounce (approximately one table-

spoon) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil Replace spark plug.
